BU commit- 2016- Jerome Merritt

Compliance

I read on a Twitter post by Dave Reynolds, 4-18, that Jerome Merritt is not officially a Brave yet. He had to be verified by something called Bradley compliance. I saw the Bradley announcement since then, so I assume that he was verified?

What is Bradley compliance?

Thank you.

Compliance is the part of the Bradley athletic department (and ever Division I athletic department) that checks out the paperwork, makes sure it is legitimate and that the signatures are legal, and gets it to the NCAA for verification.

And yes, the announcement by Bradley confirms that it is 100% official now, though it was not really much in doubt.

Jerome Merritt is still largely an unknown...but reading the local media coverage of him about the only thing they mention that doesn't come from Coach Wardle was the mention that..
"All (of BU's 2016 recruits), including Merritt, plan to arrive on campus for the first summer session in June."

...but then, recruits being unknowns never seemed to stop our local media from formerly hyping them right from the start as if we had landed a 5-Star blue chipper..
Guys like Jermaine Morgan, Josh Cunningham, Xzavier Taylor, Omari Grier, Anthony Fields, and many others...etc..were exaggerated to the hilt as highly rated, TOP 100, immediate impact, extremely talented difference makers...
I see now things have definitely changed...

Maybe they want to avoid the embarrassment of having to print retractions later when they mis-report things...
